Source: Bill Clinton agrees to vetting

WASHINGTON (CNN) — A major obstacle in Sen. Hillary Clinton's path to becoming President-elect Barack Obama's Secretary of State may be out of the way, as former President Bill Clinton has made several concessions to help move his wife's vetting process along.

A source familiar with the discussions between Hillary Clinton and the president-elect confirms to CNN that the former president will release the names of several major donors to the Clinton Foundation as well as submit future foundation activities and paid speeches to a strict ethics review.

In addition, the former president is offering to step down from his day-to-day responsibilities at the foundation and inform the State Department of his speaking schedule and any new sources of income.

Clinton said Wednesday that he would do whatever was asked of him in regards to the vetting process. Continue reading 'Source: Bill Clinton agrees to vetting'

Photojojo Photo Safari - Urban Ruins on Treasure Island

Join us for a photo tour of the fabulous ruins of Treasure Island, this Saturday, November 22nd. A man-made island originally built to host a 1939 World’s Fair, Treasure Island was once home to fantastic (but ephemeral) architecture, gala displays, and the (in)famous Gayway — a bawdy playland for World’s Fair visitors. Treasure Island was also intended to serve as an airport, and for a time is was home base for the Pan American Airways Clippers, giant seaplanes that provided the first commercial air transport to China. With the outbreak of World War II, the US Navy took over the island, and it remained in Navy hands until the base was closed in 1994. Elements of all this history survive to this day, but Treasure Island’s abandoned state also makes the island feel spooky — like a post-Apocalyptic ghost town floating in the middle of San Francisco Bay.

We’ll meet near the Transbay Terminal in San Francisco at 1:00pm, specifically at the corner of 1st and Howard. Parking is available nearby for people to coordinate carpooling or taking the bus to Treasure Island via the Transbay Terminal. Map: tinyurl.com/56z96v

From there, we’ll all travel to Treasure Island. For those who aren’t able to meet us in San Francisco, you can meet up with us on Treasure Island at 2:00pm, in the parking lot near the the old Guard Shack (1st St and Palm Ave on Treasure Island). Map: tinyurl.com/5dhguq

After this photo safari, we will travel back to the city and meet at Pete’s Tavern at 5:30pm, where we will share photos, drinks and stories. We’ll also be giving away some prizes from our sponsors as well!

Bring your cameras and some friends and we’ll see you on Saturday!

Bonfire party caused Montecito fire

The fire that destroyed scores of homes in Montecito and Santa Barbara was caused by a group of young people who had built a bonfire, authorities said today.

A group of 10 young men and women described by authorities as locals went to the Tea house, an abandoned mansion, on Wednesday night for a bonfire party. They told Santa Barbara County sheriff's investigators that they had put the fire out before they left that night. But authorities believe the fire continued to smolder through Thursday before breaking out into fire when winds swept in Thursday afternoon.

At this time, it does not appear to be malicious, said Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown.

Officials described the group that started the fire as "college students," but didn't identify them further.
